My favorite all-time player. The only lefty in the Dodger lineups on their World Series teams in the '70s.
Duke Snider's #4 was retired. He deserves serious consideration.

Duke Snider's #4 was retired. He deserves serious consideration. Agreed. I heard a story that as a high school football player he once threw a football out of the Coliseum. Not 100% sure it is true, but that story always stuck with me.

Duke Snider's #4 was retired.The Dook has always been my fave, since the '55 Serious, so of course I made it a point to attend his retirement ceremony at the Stadium. It was fabulous: while the announcer introduced him and extolled his many accomplishments, the center field fence opened and Duke walked in, all the way to home plate, flanked by Willie Mays and Joe DiMaggio, two of the three other great NY center fielders contemporaneous with Duke's Brooklyn era (I don't know where the Mick was).
